Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups pitted dates OR 1 1/2 cup date sugar mixed with 2 tbsp water (if you can't find reasonably cheap date sugar, you can buy Anthony's Date Sugar - this is an affiliate link, and it helps this site to buy from it)
  • 1 cup nuts of your choice
  • 1 cup oat flakes (or rolled oats)
  • 1 tbsp flax seeds mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tsp cinnamon powder

Instructions:

  • In a food processor, add the dates, nuts, and oats. Blend until your mixture is fine, but still has a few chunks.
  • Add the flax seeds and the cinnamon to your mixture, and blend. Let sit for 15 minutes. If, after resting, the mixture does not hold itself together properly in a ball, add a little bit of water until you reach the right consistency.
  • Roll the cookie mixture into balls of about 1 tbsp each in your hand. You can either press them down to have flat cookies, or keep them as balls for bite-sized snacks. Let sit for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Serving:

Just grab a cookie, and have at it! You can also top with the vegan ice cream of your choice, or sprinkle more cinnamon powder on top.
